Think AI definity sound better than iA ....  

Nowadays, many hawkers also added "i" to their items sold like iBread, iTea, ..... etc.

Despite the worry about EV, PRC EV will eat into market share of ICE/PHEV car in Europe.

European carmaker going to have headache soon

It is all marketing gimmick lah.... all these free charging and road tax all part of the margin from the car sales price.

I rather they just give up upfront big 20-50k discount upfront and I settle all my charging and road tax myself...😁

Whatever it is, it means BMW is under pressure to offer more to buyers and they still have fat margins to absorb charging cost and EV road tax. It is a positive sign for EV buyers.

This is PML promo.

Based on ix3, annual road tax is $2,148.  10 years will be $21,480.

For charging, there is a cap of 60k km over 45 months.  Based on LTA number, need 11,640 kwh for 60k km.

Charge+ AC is $0.5587 while DC is $0.6173.  The charging value will be btw $6,503 and $7,185.

Total amount will be $28k and $29k.

PML definitely have the margin to cover $30k promo.

You're right.

Need someone to do the legwork.

List price for ix3 is $322k.  With $30k of "freebie", it is definitely not worth it.

The problem with the free 45 months charging is that it is limited to charge+ only, it's quite inconvenient to be stuck to only one charging provider on the island.

I know this problem first hand because my Ioniq 5 comes with 18 mths of charge+. After the first few mths of every week need to purposely go orchardgateway or century square or changi city point for lunch/dinner, I gave up and just llst pay for the convenience of overnight charging in my condo carpark.

iX3 including discounts and OT usually  can get 50k off list price. That's when I ask during motorshow earlier this year.

The good old saying, free stuffs actually cost more.
